Gregory Riley Obituary
Greg was born in Anchorage on Aug. 19, 1977, where he happily spent his first six years of his childhood.
He was a proud Cub Scout, loved downhill skiing, swimming and attended schools at Hamilton Acres Baptist, Nordale and Hunter Elementary schools, Ryan Middle School and Lathrop High School. Greg enjoyed visiting his grandmother's house overlooking the Minto Flats.
Greg was content with whatever situation he was in. He did not ask for anything from anyone but to just be happy. He was a loyal San Antonio Spurs fan.
In addition to his younger brother, Patrick Erhart, and his niece, Aiyana Erhart. he is survived by his mother, Gloria, grandmother Josephine and numerous loving family and friends.
Greg was preceded in death by grandfather Harry, aunt Lucille "Honey" and uncles Dale and Elmer.
He will be laid to rest and a memorial service will be held at 1 p.m., today, Thursday, May 12, at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Minto.
Arrangements were entrusted to Chapel of Chimes Funeral Home.

I'm so sorry, Gloria. There is no sorrow like that of losing your child. May you be at peace knowing that he is back at home with his Father in Heaven and this separation is only temporary. We will all be together again very soon. I send you love and best wishes of courage and comfort.
